Speaking of Austin festivals: Unlike South By, one of Austin’s other long-running fests, the psych-oriented Levitationwon’t be returning. Ever at the ready to take up some of the slack, Dallas psych band Monoculture will throw what it’s calling “DFW’s first-ever psychedelic music festival.” Dubbed Paisley Maze, the June 3 fest will find other members of the burgeoning local psych scene — Acid Carousel, Native Fox, Natural Anthem and Sunbuzzed — performing at Dada as well. Additionally, several visual artists will display their works in a gallery format. Tickets are currently available here for $10.

Sticking on the event tip, the Dallas Art Fair has decided to add music programming for the first time ever, calling it The Dallas Music Experience. We’ve been told that, no, that’s not just a name that they’re work-shopping. Programmed by Lee Escobedo, five acts will perform at Fashion Industry Gallery on April 7.

By then, of course, Dallas rapper -topic will be long gone. He is peace-ing out, and moving to Los Angeles by April 1. Before that, he’s throwing one last party at Trees this Thursday. Oh, but then he’ll be right back, performing at Fortress Festival on April 30.

Another NTX musician that once famously left town for California only to eventually wind up right back here is Don Henley. He recently announced that he’ll be celebrating his 70th birthday with a big concert in his hometown. On July 22, he and several “special guests” will perform a birthday concert at American Airlines Center.

Meanwhile, Independent Bar & Kitchen is getting into the DJ game. Starting On March 31 and April 1, the Deep Ellum restaurant will be kicking off new Friday and Saturday night weeklies, from DJs JT Donaldson and Christy Ray, respectively.

Moving on, Pueblo debuted another song from its upcoming debut EP, Boring the Camera, via a new very Dallas-inspired music video.

Medicine Man Revival did something similar, debuting a new song via a video of its own. It’s also Dallas-inspired, in that it was filmed live at GoldRush Café.

Our last video of the week, on the other hand, finds the now-Nashville-based project The Whistle and The Bells releasing a quirky new clip for its “Good Drugs” single. The song comes from the band’s record coming out via New West on April 28.

Finally, this week, we close with a bit of news from a former New West act.

You may have noticed that when Old 97’s and special guest Caitlin Rose performed “Good With God” on Conan last week, drummer Philip Peeples was conspicuously absent. While preparing for the show in Los Angeles, Peeples endured something of a freak accident, hitting his head in a parking lot and suffering “multiple skull fractures, a concussion and a brain hemorrhage,” thus causing him to miss that show and a week or so of performances on the band’s tour. In the meantime, the band’s longtime tech and Polyphonic Spree drummer Jason Garner has been filling in.

Cory Graves is the Associate Editor at Central Track. He enjoys not only writing about Dallas and its local music scene, but being a part of it as a member of the band Vandoliers. Courtney Love once referred to him onstage as “my fucking therapist,” which he immediately put on his resume.
